The 2018 Summer Happenings at The Broad kicks off on the opening day of A Journey That Wasn’t, the museum’s new exhibition which considers artists’ complex representations of time, and features the return of the beloved video installation, The Visitors, by Ragnar Kjartansson. The exhibition presents more than 20 artists including Bernd and Hilla Becher, Gregory Crewdson, Andreas Gursky, Elliott Hundley, Pierre Huyghe, Anselm Kiefer, Sherrie Levine, Glenn Ligon, Sharon Lockhart, Paul Pfeiffer and Ed Ruscha. The featured works in the exhibition–ranging from painting and sculpture to photography, film and installation–examine the passage of time by alluding to nostalgia or sentiments about aging, often depicting specific places in states of decay; these works can act as documentation, memorial or symbol. Still others imply movement or narrative within single still images; in these works, historical styles and events are ruptured, collaged and re-contextualized as to become portals into seemingly other worlds....Gang Gang Dance plays syncopated, experimental synth rock. DJ Stretch Armstrong juxtaposes an eclectic mix of original songs and their remixes. Jean Grae preaches on time, interspersed with her Church of Infinite You choir’s themed cover songs. Terry Riley performs his 2012 composition “Aleph,” a meditation on Judaism, mathematics and raga. Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs offers an original choral and movement ensemble work inspired by mythological characters who journey between, over, and under worlds. Tara Jane O'Neil music reflects on journeys with Jmy James Kidd and The Sunland Dancers. Zap Mama loops her vocals and beatboxing to tie together hip-hop and her Belgian-Congolese roots.
